I should start another thread for the compiz biz.. I want to build a record of systems that are running it successfully, CPU, graphics card and driver, RAM etc. .. so until I do, can you post those specs.

Maybe this should be on a 5.3.3 thread, but thought I'd share anyways.

I installed an nVidia driver pet from the Slacko PPM (nvidia-2.95.20-k3.1.10-slacko_paeA-s). Then, I ran the Compiz helper pet, and loaded the Compiz sfs. Not sure what I did to get it working exactly. I restarted X, and I can't remember if I typed xwin or xwin dummy to get it to work. I think something strange happened where the upper scroll bar of the windows got cut off (I had the same problem with installing Compiz on Saluki), and I may have had to restart X, rerun xorgwizard, probe, select resolution, and typed either xwin or xwin dummy. Anyways, I finally got it to work, and made multiple backup copies of the savefile in case I screw up something in the future!Last edited by dk60902 on Sat 11 Aug 2012, 15:09; edited 1 time in total

hi am looking for suggestion on which version to run i
have precise5.4.3 installed but while its very fast there are some quirks
foremost is the wireless constantly dropping at random times and most important
when sitting idle ie. no user apps running the ram monitor suddenly goes to max like all the ram is being used and everything freeze for several mins
am new to puppy so ask for ay info you deem neccesary

precise5.4.3 installed ...

Hmmm... I am also running Precise 5.4.3 (retro) at the moment (Pentium M CPU) and had a problem with CPU (but not ram) suddenly going to 100% and thus freezing the system. Somehow that problem has disappeared on my system. Unfortunately I'm not absolutely sure what it is I added that sorted the issue out for me. I did install the following cpu frequency scaling pet in my attempt to improve matters, and that may or may not have been what worked for me, but that is just a suspicion I have and I don't have time to retest since the problem only arose intermittently also. I'm keeping that pet installed now though, whether it is relevant or not, since all now running smoothly here:

this Puppy is one of the more smallest recent Puppys (or are you knowing more Puppy with this size with about complete packages depository at https://archive.org/?).

I find it very important for fast interventions in the PC ("would" be my task force in my PC!).

would?

only?

yes... poor slacko has the same desagrements as the most Puppies: for a confortable use, you need to have an old save file for it, the content is not actual any more. all is old in such an old save file excepted localisation, xorg and KB settings... it is nonsens to preserve such old savefiles excepted if you want have a museum of your old works...

or you must answer a complet book of question in the starting phase and shutting down you system!

is there no way to save only the most minimal amount of entries in an remastered version of it to make the start and shutting down immediate and avoid all this highly bureaucratic approach of start and reboot/shutdown without any question (like some RSH compositions does! It is possible: they also are all real Puppies...)
